President Trump said days earlier that the United States could “very soon” expand its campaign of killing people at sea suspected of drug trafficking to attacking Venezuelan territory.

An airspace closure like this is what I'd expect to see during a pre-invasion bombing campaign.

Soooo, then the US invades Venezuela, will the rest of the world impose sanctions on the US? What do we do when Russia, the US, and China (next) just invade countries because a) that country has something they want, and b) they can?

When was the last time China invaded another country?

Also regarding Russia, you do realize that the US intelligence community has been quite consistent in their analysis that Russia does not have the materiel to invade multiple countries, right?
